The Chiefs have a chance to take first place back this Thursday when they face the Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium. Those two teams faced off earlier this season and Kansas City got the win, so another win over Oakland would set KC up nicely in the AFC West.

Conversely, losing to Oakland on Thursday would make things difficult for the Chiefs in the division standings. Not only would the Raiders be two games ahead, but they would also have a better conference record than the Chiefs, as well as the same division record.

Needless to say, this is a must win for both teams on Thursday Night Football.
